Extra Thoughts:<br />
From your data in step 4. Can you calculate the apparent<br />
Moons % diameter size change.<br />
Can you calculate the expected % change in apparent image<br />
diameter size using the distances to the moon found in the<br />
Image info under data tools.<br />
How do the two calculated values compare What might<br />
explain any differences. (Hint: sources <strong>of</strong> experimental error)<br />
Michigan State Science Standards<br />
